A MINISPR TIVE OFFI ER How Colonel Elliott, our Executive Officer, has ever managed his tough job of keeping us all fed, clothed, housed, and transported during this year of rationing and priorities is more than we can understand. Anyhow, we salute him for his success in steering us through a difficult year very successfully. Colonel McKinney, that strong silent man-not so si- lent either- has succeeded in holding us to our traditional standards of military excellence and campus morale in spite of the restlessness always in the air during war times. We appreciate the example he has set us as a soldier and a gentleman. Colonel Henderson this year has been more concerned with turning away applicants than with soliciting them. It is to his judgment in selecting the personnel of the corps in the first place that we owe most of our friend- ships at graduation. Colonel Kellam as director of guidance and advisor for the second class is the man who holds the key to the Iron Gate. Many of us owe our choice of college, Army, or future business career to the wise decisions he has made during our days on the campus. Major Leland-that man of graphs, charts, and tables- has followed our progress thoroughly and statistically to show how this year has compared with others. We thank him for a job that is too often very thankless. COLONEL L. R. KELLEM MAJOR W. E. LELANU f E CoLoNEL A. R. ELLIOTT COLONEL C. F. MCKINNEY COLONEL J.W. HENDERSON
